[Verse 1]
It's [B]just gone noon, half [Am]past monsoon
On the [B]banks of the river [Am]Nile
Here [B]comes the boat, only [Am]half-afloat
Oarsman [B]grins a toothless [Am]smile
Only [B]just one more to this [Am]desolate shore
Last [B]boat along the river [Am]Nile
Doesn't [B]seem to care, no more [Am]wind in his hair
As he [B]reaches his last half [Am]mile

[Bridge 1]
The oar [Em]snaps in his hand
before he [Gm]reaches dry land
But the [Em]sound doesn't dampen his [C]smile
Just [Em]pokes at wet sand with an [Gm]oar in his hand
Floats [Em]off down the river [D]Nile
Floats [D]off down the riv[C#]er Ni[B]le
[B]All[C] ab[C#]oard[D]
